8. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other

devices (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding type plug. A polarized

plug has two blades, with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two

blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong is provided for

your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for

replacement of the obsolete outlet.

10. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, particularly at plugs,

convenience receptacles, and the point where it is attached to the apparatus.

11. Use only the attachments/accessories specified.

12. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified, or sold with the

apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus

combination to avoid overturning.

13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of

time.

14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the

apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power supply cord or plug is

damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the

apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or

has been dropped.

Operation

Make certain that speakers and input sources are properly connected before switching

on.

Keep volume levels at minimum gain before switching on.

NOTE: The system’s operation is delayed by approximately three seconds after pressing

the AC Mains power switch. This is due to the built-in protection circuitry, designed to

protect speakers and other system components.

Rear Panel Controls

1. AC Power Cable

Connect this cable to your AC outlet.

2. Fuse Holder

This holder contains the AC overload protection fuse. If the fuse has blown out,

replace it with a fuse of the same type and rating, as shown below.

If the fuse continues to blow, refer servicing to a qualified service technician.

AC Fuse Ratings

Model 100VAC – 120 VAC 220VAC-240VAC

PA-920 1A / 250V .5A / 250V

PA-935 2A / 250V 1A / 250V

3. Speaker Output Terminal

These terminals are used to connect speakers to the unit. You may select either

4or 8conventional operation, or High Impedance operation at either 70V or

100V.

4. GND Terminal

This grounding terminal is provided for connecting with the chassis of a turntable

or other input device to reduce hum and other ground loop noise. It may also be

connected to a true earth ground, such as an AC third-pin ground or water pipe,

to further reduce ground loop noise.

5. Mic 1,2,3 Inputs

These 1/4" phone jacks accept a standard mic-level or line-level input. Mic inputs

2 and 3 may be set to line-level with the use of their associated Mic/Aux switches

(see 7-8 below).

6. Mute Controls

When signal is present at Mic 1 or Telephone input, all other inputs are muted.

These controls adjust the level of Mic 1 and Telephone output when muting is in

use.

7. Mic 2/Aux 1 Selector Switch

This switch is used to select between mic level and line level for Mic 2/Aux 1 input.

8. Mic 3/Aux 2 Selector Switch

This switch is used to select between mic level and line level for Mic 3/Aux 2 input.

9. Telephone In Terminal

These terminals are used to connect to a telephone exchange system for paging

purposes.

NOTE: When signal is present on the Telephone Input terminal, all other input

signals (except Mic 1) are muted.

10. Aux Inputs

These inputs are used for connecting line-level sources, such as CD or cassette

deck. When using these inputs, the respective Mic/Aux switches must be set to

their Aux settings.

Connecting Speakers

Before connecting speakers to your PA-920/PA-935 unit, be sure to disconnect the AC

power cable. Make certain that the total impedance is not less than the rated

impedance indicated.

For 4speakers, connect in parallel, with the negative (-) connectors to the 4terminal

and the positive (+) connectors to the COM terminal. See Figure 2-1 below.

For 8speakers, connect in parallel, with the negative (-) connectors to the 8terminal

and the positive (+) connectors to the COM terminal. See Figure 2-2 below.

For high-voltage distributed systems, connect with matching transformer as per Figures 2-

3 and 2-4 below. Be certain that the total impedance does not equal less than the rated

impedance.
